[ laughter ] >> they're making me do my homework. >> reporter: the stakes are high for the debate but both the white house and the romney campaign are trying to lower expectations. neither side wants their candidate to take the stage with a perceived advantage. the polls show most americans believe obama will win the first debate. >> thank you so much. >> reporter: but historically it's the challenger who usually gets a boost. >> less important than what they say is how they appear. do they treat their rival with respect? do they connect with the audience? do they respond at the moment when they have to react?

how do they look? how do they seem? >> reporter: the debate could have an immediate impact because early voting is already under way in a couple of swing states. tara mergener for cbs news, the white house. up next, new rules that make it tougher for parents to opt out of vaccinating their kids -- or do they? the loophole thrown in at the last minute. >> skies nice and clear all the way to the coastline. it is getting hot in spots. cooler weather is on the way. we'll talk about that coming up.

then we start a gradual cooling trend tomorrow. still probably some spots hot inland tomorrow afternoon but they will be cooling off. right now, it is 94 degrees in livermore. 89 in san jose. we have had to make some adjustments on the high temperature in san francisco. now sitting at 88 degrees. 73 degrees right at the beach in pacifica. high pressure holding on now for one last day. and then it looks likes it will begin to weaken and shift eastward. as it does, our temperatures should begin to come down somewhat. i think we'll start to see some patchy fog developing along the coastline maybe late tonight a little sea haze and then along the copes line we'll see a steady surge of low clouds and fog late tomorrow and then looks like into thursday with more clouds on the way, that will help to bring down the temperatures across the board. but not today. it is going to be hot. 97 degrees in morgan hill. 90 mountain view. 789 high in pacifica. east bay temperatures up into the triple digits into pleasanton, about 100 degrees even in livermore, 100 in fairfield, and 96 degrees in the napa valley. inside the bay hot as well, 90 in san leandro, 89 in oakland

pediatrician as an expert. we put our son's health in his hands. >> reporter: now a new california law aims to have more parents talking to their pediatricians before they are allowed to reject mandatory vaccines for their kids. >> overall, i think, it's definitely the right direction. >> reporter: urged current state law before attending school or daycare kids are required to get certain vaccinations under current state law. parents can opt out with a personal beliefs exemption. this new law doesn't change that. it makes the process a bit tougher. parents will have to talk to a licensed healthcare practitioner and get a signature first. >> we want them to get the real facts rather than things they hear from internet or friends and family without hearing both sides of the story. >> reporter: the director of the department of pediatrics at valley medical center is surprised, at the last moment governor brown anded a religious exemption. parents with religious beliefs ruling out vaccinations don't
